I am debugging C++ in gdb 7.1 on Linux. I have a function a() that is called in many places in the code. I want to set a breakpoint in it, but only if it was called from b() .

Is there an easy way to set conditional breakpoints in Visual Studio? If I want to hit a breakpoint only when the value of a variable becomes something, how can I do it? Set a breakpoint as usual. Right click it. Click Condition. When you are using Express edition you can try this: #if DEBUG if( fooVariable == true ) System.Diagnostics.Debugger.Break(); #endif if statement makes sure that in release build breakepoint will not be present. Visual Studio provides lots of options for conditional breakpoints: To set any of these you Set a break point Right Click over the break point, and in the
